REFERENCE / JSON SCHEMAS

Canonical evidence contracts.

Browser-resolvable Draft 2020-12 schemas shipped byte-for-byte with MergeGrounds Verifier 0.1.0.

These v1 URLs are normative identifiers for the reference verifier. Pin the verifier release and validate the schema bytes you consume; a URL alone is not a supply-chain trust decision.

Schema set

  • Subject v1Exact repository and revision identity.
  • Policy v1Trusted keys, producers, controls, and freshness rules.
  • Evidence v1Signed, scope-complete control evidence.
  • Waiver v1Time-bounded, subject-bound exception authorization.
  • Decision v1Deterministic fail-closed admission output.

Reference implementation

The MergeGrounds Verifier package embeds the same five files and rejects unknown fields at every security-sensitive object boundary. Read the trust-boundary guide before treating a valid document as trusted evidence.
